Bang The Box’s first release on vinyl is a subterranean three tracker from label resident Lance DeSardi. All three tracks have deep roots running throughout, but each digs down to take you to a different patch of the undergrowth.

Limited Orange Vinyl EP
Dallas Native Lance Desardi arrived in Los Angeles alongside his roommate JT Donaldson sometime around 1999. At that time I was the head buyer & managing L.A’s largest independent dance music shop in the heart of Hollywood “Beatnonstop” on Melrose Avenue. We had just put out a double pack vinyl on Beatnonstop and a single on PCH feat. Myself & Cpen on both.
Lance & J.T were introduced to me by Chris Penny aka CPen who was also a Dallas transplant to L.A and as chance would have it they were both looking for jobs. The two had been sojourning in Chicago for about two years under the tutelage of Spencer Kincy aka Gemini and the House Mayor of Chicago Derrick Carter.
I hired them both and we soon became fast friends. I would lend them pieces of gear and keyboards etc to work on projects and suddenly we had this little community of producers and artist’s working on beats, bringing them into the shop for “show & tell.”
This created a healthy atmosphere of us all pushing each other to make songs for the labels. This is one of the reasons Seductive, Pacific Coast House & Pacific Traxx etc were started to house the different projects and alias’s of us at that time.
One day Lance showed up to work at the shop beaming from ear to ear a some pep in his step. Him and another co-worker Jaime G had gone into the studio that week and banged out “Jazz Salad.”
As soon as Lance slipped in the DAT tape and the track came thundering through the speakers with Jaime’s deep Latin intro I knew it was going to be a big tune in the underground. Such a groove and so infectious it is undeniable even today 20 odd years
later.
So nice to see it back out on wax and not at the hefty discogs price tag of over a hundred quid! The flip side “Boing” is a deep late night groover that fits nicely into a Mark Farina style set with bonus beats to boot. Not to be missed. Classic.
Words above from Sam Robson of Pacific Coast House.

Lance Desardi - The Power Of Suggestion (Original)

Lance Desardi - The Power Of Suggestion (2025 Live Version)
Texas-born, London-based Lance DeSardi has remastered his classic 2013 cut 'The Power Of Suggestion' which was notably included on Carl Craig's masterful three-CD mix for Ministry of Sound. It's an organic sound with deft synth motifs and rolling drums topped with airy vocals and wispy melodies. The flip side offers a 2025 live version that is more driving and club-ready but still with the same majestic art of melody and outdoor serenity. It's one of those warm, fuzzy and soulful sounds that brings great joy and the spoken word vocal sample adds extra emotional depth.

Hudd Traxx call on London based US Producer Lance De Sardi for their last EP before they hit 50 Releases and celebrate their 10th Anniversary. De Sardi it seems is more than up for the task, and it's no surprise having had previous releases dating back to the 90's on classic labels like Seasons & Om, as well as his more recent Legwork Records, which he co-owns. Pariah kicks the EP off in fine style with a Deep House Monster of a track, smooth beats, an infectious vocal and lush pads ensure that this will be a big one for the heads. Although the EP only has 3 tracks there's plenty of variety. Flip for the B Side and find a tough Acidy number in Youth, and a groovy track in Race the Clock which is made for the dance floor. 2015 is already proving to be a big year for Hudd Traxx following releases from Iron Curtis & Nachtbraker, and Lance De Sardi keeps the flag flying high with this solid EP.

Lance is back at it again. Deep NAKED MUSIC vibe'n house with sub-aquatic atmosphere and heavenly grooves. Diving low end that pushes subtle melody and fill the bottomless void that Lance is infamous for creating. Heavy UK vibe on the production that touches upon 16b, ODORI, and CHARLES WEBSTER. Siesta leading the pack once again.

More records from bang the box
Asiko Disko - JT uses classic drum machines, sneaky acid lines and a Mike Dunn-esqe vocal to create this underground gem. Gaia - This track is sure to be a DJ favorite. Pounding tribal rhythms, hypnotic chants and an arrangement demanding to stay in the mix. This is a DJ weapon. Asiko Disko (Dave Aju Remix) - Having been a fan of Dave Aju for a while we thought it would be a hoot to get a remix from him. The result is a slow burning, shimmering remix that takes the original and shoots into space. Gaia (El-Dee Remix) - Our main man Lance DeSardi turns in a electric remix. Taking the original and delving into darker territory. New sonic creatures rotate around deep bass tones, hypnotic chants and new directions.

Bang The Box started out as a party. As a label, the mission remains the same. Whether it’s a heat-soaked underground, a strobe-lit night club, or 12 inch piece of wax, it’s always going to be just that. A party. We’re rooted in the foundations: Hardy at the Box, Levan at the Garage, Timmy on WBLS, or Mayday on WJLB. From that spirit, we draw our inspiration. Beginning in April of 2011, we began to spread the gospel that is Bang The Box, including music by Lance DeSardi, JT Donaldson, Pillow Talk, Brett Johnson, Dead Seal, Dave Aju, and many more…
